Question
Describe the energy changes which take place in a radio.
Advertisements
Solution
A radio converts electrical energy into sound energy. In a radio set, electrical energy causes the speaker’s diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. So, the radio converts electrical energy into kinetic energy and finally into sound energy. This energy transformation can be written as,
Electrical energy → Kinetic energy → Sound energy

An automobile engine propels a 1000 kg car (A) along a levelled road at a speed of 36 km h–1. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is 100 N. Now, suppose after travelling a distance of 200 m, this car collides with another stationary car (B) of the same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now the car (B) starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car (B) just after the collision.
A body of mass 10 kg at rest is acted upon simultaneously by two forces 4 N and 3 N at right angles to each other. The kinetic energy of the body at the end of 10 s is
